Pelosi Statement on the Persian New Year

 

โ€œWith the arrival of spring comes the celebration of Nowruz, as Iranian Americans join millions around the world to mark the new year. Nowruz offers a new beginning and an opportunity to reflect on the year thatโ€™s been and look forward with hope for the year to come.

 

โ€œToday, we recognize the innumerable contributions that Iranian Americans make to our country. For generations, these proud, hard-working men and women have shared their vibrant culture and traditions and in the process made America more American. Their vision, spirit and unwavering determination have strengthened and enriched our communities, particularly in California where we are grateful to be home to more than half of our nationโ€™s Iranian American community.

 

โ€œThis year, as our nation and the world confront the coronavirus pandemic, all Americans join our Iranian friends and neighbors to pray for the health and safety of our communities, including all those in Iran who have lost loved ones and those who are suffering during this challenging time. Let us all hope for swift end to this crisis and a year ahead filled with the blessings of peace, happiness and the love of our families. Eid-eh Shoma Mobarak.โ€

For idle lockdown hours, a thought experiment: What if there were a conclave now?

 

ROME - One of the things about a lockdown is that it encourages mental exercises which, under other conditions, might seem utterly pointless. Here in Italy, where it often requires an hour or so just to be allowed into a grocery store right now, one has to be endlessly creative about finding ways to occupy the time.

 

For those of us fascinated by the Vatican and its vicissitudes, hereโ€™s one such thought experiment: What would happen if Pope Francis were to die or resign today?

 

To state the obvious, thatโ€™s deeply unlikely. Anyone whoโ€™s been watching Francisโ€™s livestreamed daily Mass knows there is definitely no health crisis around the pope - he comes off as alert, determined, and good to go. Itโ€™s also highly improbable he would opt to step down smack dab in the middle of a global crisis.

 

However, the point of a โ€œwhat if?โ€ exercise isnโ€™t that itโ€™s plausible, but that itโ€™s amusing, so letโ€™s play out the string.

 

Under the rules as they stand now, a conclave would have to begin no more than 20 days after the sede vacante began, meaning when the pope died or resigned. Cardinals could decide to push things back, but given historical skittishness about doing anything that might call into question the legitimacy of an election, in all likelihood theyโ€™d feel compelled to stick to the procedures as given.

 

If the clock started ticking today, that outer limit for a conclave to begin would be April 10, and quite possibly it would start earlier in hopes of having a new pope before Easter, which is April 12.

My husband has coronavirus. I love him & not being able to be by his side is one of the hardest things about this disease. So many are going through this & much worse. I pray for him & you & meanwhile I will do all I can to get help to the American people.
